22 and Eager to Learn English
Born in Serbia, Vesna Vulović was 22 years old when she fell out of the sky. She had been a flight attendant for just eight months by the time the crash occurred. It was after going to London to learn English that she realized she had a love of traveling.
She loved the Beatles and would sing their songs with friends, so she “especially enjoyed English.” At the end of her first year of learning the language, she went to England to improve her new skills. She initially stayed with her parent’s friends in Newbury, but wanted to be in London.
